Pathos CEO Omar Hamdi on IPO, AI tech & growth strategy

Pathos Communications (LSE:NEWS) CEO Omar Hamdi talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s mission to revolutionise media access for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) through its proprietary AI tools. Hamdi outlined how Pathos Communications solves a long-standing issue in the PR space: getting SMEs into mainstream media coverage, a space typically dominated by billion-pound companies. With over 400 million SMEs globally, the company aims to scale impact through technology, not traditional PR methods. Pathos, recently named the fastest-growing communications firm in the UK by the Financial Times, is now a London-listed business. Hamdi highlighted that the decision to list was strategic: “We looked at all of the markets in the world, and we said, London’s the right place for us to be.” He also noted the rare backing of institutional investors, including Venture Capital Trusts. The firm’s roadmap includes scaling existing systems, global expansion into non-English-speaking markets, and advancing two internal AI tools: PathosMind, a PR brain for agencies, and Pressella, a virtual publicist for SMEs. “We believe that every business should have a full-time publicist,” said Hamdi. “The good news is you don’t have to pay $150,000 for one.” Watch the full interview for more on how Pathos plans to disrupt the global PR market.
